Kevin, You can achieve a matte finish or gloss finish when using StoneLoc You can even take the matte finish and the gloss finish and adjust the final finish by allowing the stoneloc the cure for a couple of minutes then take a soft bristle push broom and place the broom on the stoneloc and pull the broom one direction towards you. What this does is leave a very fine brush mark into the finish and dulls the finish. As the gloss of the finish is when light reflect in and out perfect, what the broom does is breaks the perfect reflection giving you a different look on the finial finish. Both stoneloc and TK6 are self-levering products and the broom affect the finish.
